Question

im baking a cake but i forgot to get icing, how du i make icing, explain thoroughly!!!pleez!?!

Answer 1

you could make a glaze:

2 tablespoons hot water, or milk or light cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla, lemon or other extract,
or 1 teaspoon lemon juice or rum
1 cup confectioners sugar

Stir the liquid into the sugar, adding more, a few drops at a time, as needed. The icing is of the proper consistency when it coats the spoon.

Answer 2

1 Box Powdered sugar , 1 stick butter softened a tsp vanilla and 2 Tblsp Hersheys Cocoa in the dark brown can , and black coffee maybe about 1/4 cup or more till desired consistency. put the butter and powdered sugar in bowl mix with hand blender for about 2 minutes until thick and smooth and thouroughly mixed. Add the coffee a little at a time while mixing, then put in the cocoa and vanilla continue mixing until thouroughly mixed . if you want just Buttercream frosting leave out cocoa and black coffee and use milk to instead . Good Luck ...

Answer 3

1 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar (that's powdered sugar)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 to 3 tablespoons of water
Combine the sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl. Add the water until the icing reaches spreading consistency. Use more water to thin as needed.

Answer 4

How about melting a package of chocolate chips over a double boiler, add some half and half or cream, a little butter and stir. When cake cools, pour over the top and let it run down the sides. Top each slice with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.

Answer 6

I mix powdered sugar and water until it looks like icing, then pour it on the cake. Make it not too thin that it's watery and not too thick that it wont pour. You can even add food coloring for colored icing.
